LSI likely is the worst. The old Adaptec AAC/AFA syntax was also awful, I'd say just as bad as LSI. (I have suspected that LSI copied most of the AAC UI.) 3ware was bad but not nearly as bad as the other two. (Though as you pointed out in another post, the 3ware line is basically dead. My vendor said the same thing.) > I really-really prefer GUI like 3ware web interface. I hated 3ware's web interface. :) I think I've seen posted here before that some folks like the Areca controllers. What's their CLI/GUI like? I think the worst part about these interfaces is that there really is no (at least that I've found) programming API to access them. If there were, we could write Python/Perl/Java/whatever code to interact with the controller, instead of having to parse stdout of MegaCli64. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
